About Babywearing

We think a wrap is one of the easiest baby carrier style to make.

The NO SEWING REQUIRED Cotton Wrap
To make one for yourself, you’ll need 5 yards of cotton t-shirt material. Depending on your height, and how long you’d like the tails to be, the optimal yardage could be a little less or a little more, but 5 yards will be perfect for almost everyone.

Now, cut the fabric straight down the middle, lengthwise. You’ll have two 5 yard strips of fabric. You won’t need to hem the t-shirt fabric, it will roll up a little on the end and look perfectly fine.

That’s it! If, after tying your wrap a few time, you find that you don’t need the 5 yards of fabric, cut off the extra amount making sure to leave enough of a tail to be able to finish with a tight knot.

You’ll spend more time picking out the fabric than you will making this t-shirt fabric wrap!

The Minimal Sewing Woven Wrap
This wrap is also super easy to make, with the only sewing required being the hem.

To make a woven wrap, select fabric that has a tight weave. A nice linen or 100% cotton fabric is what you’re looking for.

Cut the fabric down the middle, lengthwise, so you have two 5 yard strips of fabric. Sew roughly a 1/2 inch hem on the sides of your wrap, and that’s it!

Again, so easy that you’ll be able to have matching wraps to coordinate with practically every one of your outfits!

Now that you’ve got your wrap, check out the tying instructions:
